Last nites game showed us how much work there is to do....Not 1 D man would I keep on this team....You cant trade Kreider or Hayes or Zib.....You cant trust this FO to do the right thing with the value they get back....We can only try to trade our dead wood and keep building through the draft and watch Clark F that up too

I think its important to keep this "transition" in context. The Rangers will never totally blow it up, and I don't think any of us want to see some of the pathetic rebuilds like Florida, Carolina, Arizona and on and on going nowhere. For every Buffalo having a good season to many other "rebuilt" teams are going nowhere, and back to drafting in the middle of the pack.. Not only do you need the high picks to rebuild but it has to be the Mcdavid draft year not the Patrick Stefan year.
The idea is to build a nucleus using the draft and then astute free agent signings to bring in the big dog or two. The forward corp assuming Chytil, Andersson and Kratsov can play top six is not bleak. They are getting killed on defense,with only Pionk, Staal, Claesson and the jury still out on DeAngelo as serviceable. I said it in another post, Hajek, Lindgren, Rykov, Miller and Lindqvist can't get here soon enough and hopefully a couple make a good impact.
One more decent draft should get the Rangers back into a scenario, that with some good free agent signings, they can then get back into the mix. And in today's NHL thats a tough place to get to.

That's true, a few more pieces are needed, the team as is it is now we all can see competes but just doesn't have enough.
